Today, International Safe Abortion Day, we are fighting back against growing attacks on abortion care and working to protect access to medication abortion—including care delivered safely through telehealth.
Stand with us to fight for the rights of women and moms. Sign our letter to Congress now!
Every person deserves the freedom to make their own choices about their body, health, and future. And everyone should be able to decide if they’re having children, and if so, when and how many. But right now, politicians are taking those choices away—and the cost is deadly.
We are already seeing the devastating real-world impact of abortion bans. Moms like Amber Nicole Thurman and Police Officer Ciji Graham lost their lives because state bans created fear, delayed urgent hospital care, and blocked access to timely, safe medical treatment. [1, 2] No one should die because politicians interfered with basic medical care.
Tell Congress to ensure that people have the power to make medical decisions about their own bodies!
Medication abortion using mifepristone is a trusted and effective way to end a pregnancy and treat medical needs. Today, nearly 25% of all abortion care in the U.S. happens through telehealth. [3] Doctors work virtually with patients to assess their health, mail necessary medications, and provide follow-up care.

For millions of people, telehealth is a lifesaver. It gives people access to care when they:
- Live in states with abortion bans or in rural areas far from clinics.
- Cannot afford travel, time off work, or child care.
- Need fast, confidential, and safe care.
Science proves that medication abortion through telehealth is just as safe and effective as in-person care. [4] Yet, anti-abortion politicians continue to spread fake science, file lawsuits, and push the courts and the FDA to ban these proven medications nationwide.
They did not stop at overturning Roe v. Wade, and they will not stop until they have total control over our health decisions.
Decisions about health belong to patients and their doctors—not politicians or judges.
Thanks for all you do,
